Joshua 1:9 – “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Philippians 4:3 – “Yes…help these women who have contended a my side in the cause of the gospel.”
Today was a difficult day for me. Although all of the days have been draining after hours of trying to understand Spanish, today homesickness really set in. Missing everyone is hard especially when my phone doesn’t work, internet requires both electricity and sunny skies, and letters take months once they have gone both ways. I was trying to distract myself by doing my sisters’ morning jobs. They kept telling me that I didn’t need to and I don’t think they realized I understood them because I just kept going. But eventually, I just needed to cry. I retreated to my room and held a picture of my family and my stuffed elephant – “Ellie.” At about that time, one of my sisters let herself into my room and gave me a hug. She opened up my Bible and found these verses for me. It was just what I needed. Thank you, God. Thank you for Nicole. I know I have a long year ahead of me, but it is nice to have little blessings along the way.
